I am shocked that nearly 29% of men who answered on this poll do not believe that access to rights or opportunities should be unaffected by gender...

[ohshee]

I do . but it's all changed younger people have names and titles for everything now. There more followers than leaders common since is sometimes hard to find and everyone thinks they are right

And when two people dont see eye to eye in stead of fixing it they become loud right fighters

I'm old school I work as a team player I'm going to respect you if I see someone struggling. I'm not going to say anything I going to give them a helping hand and when finished start doing my thing I'm not going to help because they are a man or a women I'm going to help because
I've been there before and when you help someone and they
pay attention they might learn a new way

There are people with different experiences different levels of knowledge skills but no matter what we are all human beings and there's only one level of that whether you're a man or a woman there's only one level of respect either you respect or you don't people sometimes take gender equality two be made into something more do they can't do this or they can't do that we're not talking about that we're talking about I'm going to treat you the same way that I treat her and you should do the same thing you're going to treat her the same way you treat me and if people don't understand that and they don't respect there's no other titles for it there's no other way to look at it either you're confident within yourself and when you're that then you can respect everybody but if you're not confident within yourself then they're always has to be a new word or title like simp or she is a girl she can't do that it has nothing to do with any of that everybody the way you want to be treated is what the way it should be no matter what no matter who they are black white woman man old young good day or bad day and nobody on this planet is any better than anybody else anyway so why even go there

[libsaretards]

I voted yes, but it depends.

Are we talking equality under written law?
The written laws are equal, but interpreted heavily in women's favor. A man is guilty until proven innocent and a woman's word is trusted without question.

Are we talking equality in pay?
The law already prohibits unequal pay for equal work. For example, if a man and woman are both McDonald's cashiers with the same experience, education, etc. it is illegal to pay one more than the other. However, if the man calls out of work a lot and she shows up all the time, her check will end up bigger due to more hours worked. Same the other way around. If a woman misses work due to pregnancy, why should a workplace have to pay her because she opened her legs to a man? In the eyes of the workplace, you only get paid for the hours you show up. As for overall pay among genders being higher for men, this is because men tend to take on the riskier jobs in society.

Are we talking equality in custody battles? That battle is not even close. Even states that claim to not favor the mother in the law do so under the judge's interpretation. Women win waaaaaaaaaaaaay more of these battles than they should.

Are we talking equality in mental health? Women get waaaaaaaaaay more support than men. Women can talk it out and cry and not be looked down on but if a man does so he is weak.

Your question is too broad. Also, there is true equality then there is Leftist bullshit equality.

[SaartjieJane]

I’m no feminist nor do I support it.
I will say that I support gender equality mainly for all the women who have suffered by the hands of men. From women being forced into marriages by their fathers to women who were weren’t allowed to vote, have jobs, own a home, have opinions, make choices for their families, who never got to experience an orgasm/never sexually pleased. For the women who had to give all their money to their husbands, the husbands that had legal power over their wives that they could literally imprison and beat and rape if they felt like. The women who couldn’t leave a marriage because they couldn’t take her kids with her, to the women who divorce their husbands and lost her kids. To the women who do the exact same job as a man and still get paid less than the man.




Honestly I could write a book as to why I support gender quality. Incredibly sad we let women down, let them suffer so much in the past.
I of course also don’t support women putting down men for zero reason. Not all men are the same.

[Screenwriter]

It's not gender equality because the genders ARE NOT equal. They are different.

It's gender EQUITY. Offering equal opportunity for men and women to use their skills in the marketplace.

A 6'3 inch 225 lb man is not physically EQUAL to a 5'2" 135 lb woman in strength due to great differences in size and the man's testosterone level that develops more muscle mass. However, the woman should be given tasks that apply to HER strength skillset, just as he will be given tasks that fit his.

A high school educated man cannot compete with a master's level women entomologist in the same field because of the vast difference in levels of knowledge. However, there is a place for both the man and woman fitted to their skill levels. This is equity.

And it sets EVERYONE UP FOR SUCCESS!

[Subarugirl]

I’m going off of how gender equality is defined.

gender equality
noun
the state in which access to rights or opportunities is unaffected by gender.

[H8INCHES]

"The concept of equity is synonymous with fairness and justice."
Going by this, Equity is the wrong term. Equality is correct.

[Screenwriter]

@H8INCHES It is fair and just that people are given broad and similar pportunities. But they all can't be EQUAL. The high school grad cannot have equal opportunity with someone with a master's degree in his same subject. The apprentice cannot have equal opportunity with the master plumber. This applies similarly with men and women. It's all about what skills they have.

Now, if you're talking about a man and woman who equally have no particular skills. Then their opportunities for work/education should be similar. Still, if testing shows the woman has boom math skills and the guy has better empathy skills, it would appear their natural skillsets divides them into different subsets of jobs.

But all jobs that they're qualified for from their skillsets should be open to them. If that's what you mean by equality, I suppose that works. I still say just and fair are what make people most equal and stave off prejudice and bias.

[Kayla45]

I do support it to an extent, fundamentally when it comes to rights yes. However, both men and women are physically different with differences in physical anatomy. Therefore I believe in some situations women shouldn't do certain tasks that men are better suited for. That's just the facts and reality of it, like I was asked a while back ago if a pregnant woman should work a job anyway, and to that I answered no.

So really I'm just an advocate for having the same rights as men, but not necessarily equal to men. If that makes sense. Men and women cannot physically be equal because we are both different in our anatomy.

😊

[Kayla45]

And what I mean by that is certain situations arise where maybe the woman isn't able to do some things either based on physical strength or something similar.

[Subarugirl]

That's what gender equality is. Equal rights and opportunity.

[Kayla45]

Well yeah, if it's equal rights and opportunity then sure, but you also have to take into account the repercussions that men also face would be equal to that of women if it were equally balanced. Like in a professional work setting if a man gets fired for X reason the woman who does the same thing should also be fired for X reason and not let loose because she's a woman.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Subarugirl. What "rights and opportunities" do you not have as an American woman?

[Subarugirl]

@KrakenAttackin im talking about gender equality... that applies to both men and women.

[JessicaEarl]

I support equality, which means I don’t support giving women special treatment. I don’t support choosing an applicant because they’re a woman, or denying them because they’re a woman. I don’t support telling men they can’t have a say on a topic because they don’t understand. I don’t support the removal of the term woman to replace it with “pregnant people” or “people who menstruate”. I support woman because it is half of humanity and a very important half. Woman deserve equality under the law, which means men do too. Otherwise it’s not equality.

[Jabberjaw]

I don't believe it exists and because of that I don't necessarily support trying to seek it out in society.

From a legal standpoint obviously, we should all have the same legal rights but if we're talking about just social behavior towards one another?

I don't support it. A man is simply never going to get the same treatment as women do, nor should they. And women shouldn't expect to get male treatment either.

True equality runs deeper than anyone is willing to go. So deep that I think it's simply impossible. Like statistically speaking how many mothers would be willing to hire a straight man as a baby sitter for their children that isn't a relative or close family friend they've known for years?

Not many. But that's a clearly example of inequality. One that nobody is going to fight against

[FunkyMonkee]

The way I look at it is: your body is your car. You are in complete control of that car. ALL drivers are equal! It's just that some are driving pink cars (so to speak) and some are driving blue cars (so to speak). As ALL drivers are equal, there SHOULD be no difference between them, as far as the treatment they get from other drivers. It's just that those of us in pink cars MIGHT need a bit of PHYSICAL help from those in blue cars, from time to time and some of those in blue cars might need some emotional help from those in pink cars, sometimes.

[crmoore]

Depends on what you mean but most likely yes. Like equal opportunity, near-equal rights (before you criticize me, for example, I mean like a male shouldn't be owed services intended for females like bikini waxes FOR females, which is technically unequal treatment).

But I also support inequality whenever it's preferred and consensual. Like some women like it when their man takes charge in a relationship. Obviously The power dynamic isn't equal but that's what some people like and that's okay.

[crmoore]

I'm not sure if I'm included in that 29%. But if I am, I'd like to ask you if you think that males should have the same access to, and rights of getting, tubal ligation?

Do you think that if a male were to ask for that procedure he should be denied due to him being a male?

I'd assume your answer is yes, and if so (assuming you include opinions like man, and now yours, in that 29%) perhaps that 29% isn't as unreasonable, or perhaps it isn't accurately represented. I'd imagine most people would support denying a male from receiving a procedure intended for female anatomies.

[crmoore]

Opinions like mine*

[Subarugirl]

Well what you are asking is a false equivalent.
Tubal ligation ( also known as sterilization) is a procedure that is performed on fallopian tubes, so unless you have fallopian tubes, a medical procedure cannot be preformed on anatomy that isn't there. If you want to be sterilized, that is definitely a procedure that you can get. A man wouldn't be denied that procedure because he is male... he would be denied that procedure if he didn't have the anatomy required for it. If I had a full hysterectomy performed and then asked for a tubal ligation, I would also be denied because you can't operate on something that isn't there...…

[Subarugirl]

Also men can get bikini waxes.. or full brazilin waxes... there are many who do on a regular basis.

[crmoore]

It's not a false equivalent. Someone does or does not have the ability, privilege, right, or whatever you want to call it, to get tubal ligation.

In 99.99% of circumstances, I'd be willing to bet a male is denied that procedure, thus, there is not gender equality. A female can have a service that a male cannot. Obviously this is a very clear-cut and indisputable example, and that was intentional, to make a point that we can work off of in continued discussion. So let's move on to a less-clear example.

Yes, men can and do get Brazilian waxes. But the question is now if a business opens up with the intent to give females Brazilian waxes because their personel, often women, are comfortable seeing a female naked and performing the procedure on a female, but easily could NOT be comfortable seeing men naked and interacting with their body, including 'delicate' and 'personal' areas of that man's body, should these women be forced to service males in the same way they'd service a female for the sake of "gender equality"? This is not a rhetorical question, please answer it directly.

(Response continued below)

[crmoore]

Because this actually happened. A male, identifying as a woman, went to get a procedure intended for "women" (though they meant females). And they denied that male the waxing. Not only were the females working there uncomfortable with doing such a thing to a male's body, but performing the service the same way they'd perform it on a female would actual risk damage to the male's scrotum, as the procedure was intended for females, not males. And yes, the male was demanding to be treated exactly how a woman would be treated.

As a side-note, if I recall correctly, this male had also been charged or convicted of sexual crimes in the past, so perhaps there were oddities or intricacies that aided in the decision to deny this male the service beyond simply him being male. But that's besides the point, the real point is that treating each gender exactly the same in every single feasible scenario isn't reasonable, as you have already admitted. In the scenario of tubal ligation, a male and female are treated differently and unequally.

And yes, they are denied because of their anatomy. But their anatomy is the way it is because they're male. Personally, with all due respect (I truly, truly mean that. Please do not be upset), but I think this remark of yours may be a bit biased (though that is speculation on my part, you're free to prove me wrong regarding this next example). Let me give you an analogy. I assume you'd oppose a construction company saying "we aren't denying woman a job because they're a woman, we're denying them a job because of their anatomy. You see, female's have less bone-density and less bone-surface-area at muscle-attachement sites (among many other physical differences between men and women). But its not because she's a woman, it's because of her anatomy." Obviously, just because the direct reason provided is her anatomy rather than her sex, it's still because she's a female.

[Subarugirl]

You can preform a service on something that doesn't exist...

[Subarugirl]

*can't

[Subarugirl]

That is gender discrimination, because it is based of gender and not ability..

[crmoore]

I agree, you can't perform that operation on a man. Thus, a man and a woman would be treated unequally in this situation.

And yes, it is gender discrimination. But it is also gender discrimination when you deny a man the ability to get tubal ligation. In both circumstances, anatomical inclinations are the reason they're denied the opportunity, which is directly tied to their sex.

[Subarugirl]

They would be treated equally if they had the same anatomy… has nothing to do with gender and everyone thing to do with the body parts present.

[crmoore]

Yes, and that also applies to the construction occupation example I provided. It's not about their gender, its about their anatomy.

Another example I could use is the Olympics. Males and females compete separately (or at least in 99% of circumstances). People weren't separated by their anatomy, they were separated by their sex (or gender, in some more recent circumstances, of which might be overturned soon). However, they were separated by their sex DUE to their anatomy, not due to their sex. So as you can see, sex and anatomy are closely connected (as I'm guessing you already know). Otherwise, why not let women compete against men in the Olympics?

But this is going on far too long. Clearly you agree that men and women do not receive the same treatment under all circumstances. And clearly you agree there should be equal opportunity for things like jobs, academia, and many other things and for as many things as we can reasonably apply equality to.

It seems we more or less agree on where equality can and can't be applied, and we both seem to agree we'd like it applied as much as we possibly can.

So I ask you, did you include my response in that 29%? And if so, do you think grouping my opinion with the others was fair? Do you think you're accurately representing my perspective by doing so?

This next question might be a bit off-putting to hear, but I mean it as respectfully and decently I can. But if you don't think you were representing my stance fairly, did you do it because you value bolstering your point/stance over the truth?

And while we may have differing political opinions, I'd like to think I've been nothing but civil with you. So I'd appreciate it if you were to answer these few questions directly.

[Subarugirl]

They Olympics are completely different than a medical procedure designed to be performed on a specific body part, or a job. There ability to qualify should be based off of their ability to perform the task, and not their gender. Women can have just as much bone density as a man. If you compared a woman who has been working out and lifting weights regularly for the past two years to a man who has not, she is most likely to have a higher bone density than him.

[crmoore]

It's only been 6 minutes since you've responded. It only addresses one part of my response. So I'm not sure if you've finished and I can begin responding, or if I should wait for the rest of what you may have to say.

[crmoore]

Alright, I presume that was your response.

Did you read what I had to say or did you stop after the Olympics part?

[Subarugirl]

I did answer your question. My answer is that a service, job, medical procedure, etc. should be based off of the person's ability or available anatomy.

Everyone should have equal opportunity. With that being said, not performing a medical procedure on someone that does not have the anatomy for said procedure would be no different than not giving person with no feet a pedicure.

[crmoore]

That is merely one question I asked in the response in question. You seemingly didn't read, or disregarded, a third of my response. (Though, if a woman can have just as much bone density as a man, does this mean you're in favor of abolishing gendered Olympics?)

But more importantly, the part I'm most interested in hearing from you about is paragraphs 4 through 7. And I don't see a response from you that regards them.

[crmoore]

And there are several questions in those paragraphs that you did not answer.

[Subarugirl]

I took a poll, so I have no idea which answer you selected. If you selected no then yes you would have been a part of that percentage.

I think that a lot of your examples were false equivalents.

The truth is that everyone is different and the accommodations should be made so that every one has equal opportunity regardless of their gender, period.
If you want to talk about, strength, or ability that is a different situation.

[crmoore]

Alright, I'm glad to hear that. I was merely curious if you took comments into account as well, and if so, whether mine was paired with notions I don't consider to be alike.

[HighValue]

Sure. I am waiting for my exclusive scholarship for being a man like women get.

I am also waiting for women to spend more time in prison. (A woman teacher in Clovis was convicted of molesting her student and got no jail time, only 1 year of an ankle monitor where as a man teacher got 15 years in the same state not long before).

[Subarugirl]

I didn’t qualify for a scholarship.. though I don’t see you any of those thing have to do with gender equality

[HighValue]

You must not be from the USA then. There are scholarships exclusive to women, but not exclusive to men.

You don't understand that a man receiving more jail time for the same offense as a woman is against gender equality? Seriously?

[Subarugirl]

I was born and raised in the US… and yet… didn’t qualify for one scholarship even though I was an honor student…

[Subarugirl]

We’ll know the justice system is fucked up… basically everyone agrees about that… even my sexual abuser only got 30 days in jail

[HighValue]

Are you already finished with college? If not, maybe search "Scholarships for women." It also depends on your income level and what you major in.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Subarugirl. "I don’t see you any of those thing have to do with gender equality". That's because reality doesn't fit your programed narrative.

[Subarugirl]

Yep. I am and my husband has his masters. Let’s get back on topic though.. do you know what gender equality is?

[HighValue]

Yeah. Gender equality would be the same benefits for the same work (not the same pay for less work which is what happens now in the USA). It would also mean the same consequences for the same actions and the need for the same qualifications for a promotion or to get hired in the first place. All of those circumstances currently greatly favor women in the USA. The system is actually systemically sexist against men.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Subarugirl. I know what "equality" is, somehow I think "gender equality" is something entirely different.

[Subarugirl]

@KrakenAttackin and how would you define it?

[Subarugirl]

That’s literally what gender equality is…

[Subarugirl]

Equal opportunity and rights

[KrakenAttackin]

@Subarugirl. Than why do you need to stick the word 'gender" In front of equality?

[Subarugirl]

@KrakenAttackin uh that’s the name. The phrase. How ever you want to define it. The description Gender Equality, defines a specific moral.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Subarugirl. I will ask again. What is the difference between "equality", and "gender equality"?

[Subarugirl]

@KrakenAttackin it’s easy enough to look up….
e·qual·i·ty
/əˈkwälədē/
Learn to pronounce
noun
the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities.

gen·der e·qual·i·ty
Learn to pronounce
noun
the state in which access to rights or opportunities is unaffected by gender.
"legislation that reflected the principles of gender equality"

[Valso]

Yes. But the problem is that feminists go too far and abuse that equality. Examples for that:
1. The divorce cases in US where the man is being robbed by the court which then gives everything to the woman and the man probably has to live in the street.
2. In my country (Bulgaria):
• If you don't have a pussy between the legs, it's much, much harder to find a job, bc the best jobs require only women - even jobs that could be done by both genders, or in some cases men can do even better than women. Unless the boss is your best friend or you fuck the boss every night - forget about having that job!
• The woman always gets the better salary, no matter what the job is or that she might be a subordinate to a guy. She gets the better payment only because she's a woman. That happens everywhere where the management staff are women. EVERYWHERE!

[laurieluvsit]

Yes, but the problem with today's activist crazies is the equality they want doesn't include men

... go figure that one out and get back to me... lol

[Jacob147]

No one should not have to think thier life will only be one thing or the other because of an influence from society and stereotypes. Sex, sexuality, race, religion, and creed. doesn't matter who you are we are all equally human.

On the other hand I dont support movements like Blm or Lgbtq. Sure thier mdssage is equality but thier agenda is political power over the next guy.

Where I stand, everyone should be equal.

[Adam1978]

Genders aren't equal so it's better if we actually use their strengths. But for things where it doesn't matter sure. So no we don't need 50% female firefighters. It should be best candidate for the job independent of the gender. So if females can't compete it will be male dominated. If men doesn't want to compete in it, it might be female dominated.

[lightbulb27]

What is that? I don't know what that means.

Some people are worth more than others, don't care who or what. accept that. in some cases, that's women.

Women should have their own bathrooms, but I should have the right to use it if the mens' room is out of order. We can call those rooms Hens and Roosters to avoid gender issues.

[Wsx2wsx2ws]

No. GENDER's are not equal they are compliments. That means each one has strengths in each field the other lacks. They both have those abilities to some extent but not as strong.
This has been proven by brain scans and experiments (social, emotional, logical,... too many to list)

Do female and males get paid the same for the same job? Is that what you are asking? Yes they do.
Might be enlightened by reading some of Thomas Sowell.

[Wsx2wsx2ws]

Well your votes are off because I meant to vote no and it jumped making me vote yes. just letting you know.

[Wsx2wsx2ws]

Regarding your update. Well its true that Gender equality isn't there. I have been divorced and see how in equal fathers are treated compared to the massive defense and rights a mother has. Men are shut out and stomped all over in this area. They clearly have no rights.
There are just areas that are completely bias. I like to think its based on the strengths of each gender. But I know I am deceiving myself at least in some cases.

[Reaper1985]

the so called pay wage gap has been greatly reduced over the last few generations. to where now females and minorities are graduating from college more then white males. source material below

https://nypost.com/2022/04/16/women-may-pay-the-price-for-finally-closing-the-gender-pay-gap/

[Subarugirl]

I dodnt say anything about the wage gap. I’m talking about gender equity

[Reaper1985]

men and women aren't meant to be equals their meant to be compatible. as in 2 sides of the same coin.

[Anonymous]

How can gender quality exist when we live in a peak time where all men and women, guys and girls do is bash each other online and in person? Another thing is how can their be gender equality when there are people who don’t want to identify with a gender. Those people will turn to science and biology 🧬 but disregard it, doesn’t make sense. Yes, I want there to be gender equality but my last comment on people who don’t want to identify with a gender because they look at as oppressive with their beliefs. I’m not lying, I’ve read this on forums, heard it in person, listened to it on YouTube.

[grega239]

No. I think its an utopian fantasy.

Equality is an absolute. Men and women are not absolutely equal.

Think of it like this:
Limes and lemons are both citrus fruits, but are different
Men and women are both humans, but are different.

You can't make naturally unequal "things", artificially equal.

Trans "women" competing and dominating in womens sports is a perfect example of what I mean.

[Subarugirl]

you do realize that is not what gender equality means right? It means equal opportunity unbiassed or effected by gender.

[grega239]

Oil drilling companies dont hire women for drilling. This is a very biased and a very intentional decision based on the FACT that men are better for this kind of job.

On the other hand, the majority of nurses are women. This is also biased and intentional because women are better for it.

What opportunity do women not have?
Seriously, i want to hear it.

[Subarugirl]

Oil drilling companies do hire women…. And gender equality means equal opportunity, not equal outcome…

[grega239]

Not for drilling. There was a tv series on discovery channel about the life on an oil rig... not once was there a woman on the deck operating the machinery.

You have every opportunity and right to send a resume to an oil company, hut the company has the right reject you based on the fact that you are a woman. You would die. The company would be sued for extreme negligence.

[Subarugirl]

Oh because it was on TV and you didn’t see one they must not exist… lol that must be it 😂

[grega239]

No. Im assuming there are no women because they dont have the physical ability for that kind of work

[Subarugirl]

Oh but there some that do for sure

[grega239]

Im stand by my claim that its 0

[crossdressingrihno]

If you and your coworker have the same job at the same company in the same location and you both do the same amount of work with the same quality of work then yeah you should get paid equally. If your coworker does a better job than you than I can totally understand and support a business for giving that person extra money. That said what's important to me is that the workplace is non-bias or as close to it as you can get while maintaining some form of ethicality.

[torossia1171]

I only support Asian women having the same rights as guys in every way because they are the most mature and nicer race of women. White and colored women just act like the slutty high school girl and constantly judged guys appearances for being younger and slim and white, if you're a woman not from east or south east asia you should be labeled a minor for the rest of your life, that's at least I would have it.

[Subarugirl]

Okay so you’re sexist and racist? You really thing that discrimination should make a come back? What next? Slavery? Sounds really familiar to hitlers ideals

[torossia1171]

I am sexist and sexually racist towards women that look at me think im a creep without knowing anything about me or socializing with me.

I don't want a race of women that have the mentality of a teenager and deliberately has babies with guys older, taller, and muscular who look and act like they belong in a maximum security prison to hold positions of power or make any influences in voting in any way, Asian women don't act like this.

[Subarugirl]

Lol apparently you haven’t know very many Asian women 😂

[torossia1171]

The few Asian women I know here in the states are nicer to me than any white, brown, or black woman, sure they may not have a thicc bigger body as I like them to have but they at least most know have much better manners and more pleasant, other races of women are just sociopathic slags that are constantly judging and b! tchy.

[Subarugirl]

oh and you aren't judgy and bitchy lol... at least I'm not a bigoted sexist racist with an inferiority complex who fetishized an entire race.

[torossia1171]

The difference us that I don't have stds or cold sores, the difference also is that I don't simp for someone that treats me like shit like what most non Asian women like In a guy and thats toxic.

[Subarugirl]

Neither do I honey...… neither do most people. Sounds like you just spend a lot of time in the wrong crowd...

[aliiiek]

Yeh keep in mind , when a feminist sayed gender equality she doesn't means the actual gender equality , because right now woman have far more rights then man and when they say something like that they mean they want even more

If a men right activist sayed gender equality he means the actual gender equality , because right now man have far less rights then woman and when they say something like that they mean they want to be equal

[Subarugirl]

At least men have bodily autonomy, but yeah. I’m taking about gender equality.

[aliiiek]

Men don't have bodily autonomy , what obortion get illegal in us or where u live?

[aliiiek]

I don't think abortion is illegal west ، but men don't have autonomy of everything , if u say no look at this "Ukraine bans all male citizens ages 18 to 60 from leaving the country"
Feminism version of equality

[007kingifrit]

let's do a little experiment, make this same question again but don't use a buzzword

instead say "do you support men and women having a 50/50 balance in each profession" and then see how the results turn out

you'll see quick nobody actually agrees with this stuff, it's just a thing they are trained to say

[Subarugirl]

Wel I didn’t ask that because I’m talking about gender equality not forcing a 50/50 balance in each profession….

[007kingifrit]

same thing

[N192K001]

Yes, and who doesn't‽

The issue, I would think, is the full extent of individuals' definition of the term & the criteria of what initiatives fall into/out of that.

「We’ll know the justice system is fucked up… basically everyone agrees about that… even my sexual abuser only got 30 days in jail」
W. T. F.‽ Did he pay the judge‽ What happened‽ How does this make sense‽ Back in the Philippines, the "Revised Penal Code" (Act 3815) dictates the penalty for least & most general catch-all for sex-crimes, acts of lasciviousness (Article 336) as "Prision correccional" (anything from "from six months and one day to six years" as per Article 27).

Here in the U. S. State of N. C., multiple months are the penalty in general… until I found "sexual battery" whose penalty is anything from 1-150days.

A minimum of 1day ONLY‽ W. T. F.‽

It's already ridiculous that we man can't legally be raped in multiple jurisdictions, like back in the PH were "acts of lasciviousness" will have to do. But penalties (even in 1st-world nations) as light as 1month or 1day ONLY‽ The law is an f—ing joke！！！

Well, hopefully, you're doing better now, right? Have you gotten training in self-defense? It's still stunning he only got that short penalty. May he get what's coming to him!
