Women, far more than boys, learn at an early age how to effectively manipulate men all the time and particularly dad, and most other women go along with this plan including mom.

Recent studies have found women to be less happy than they were post WWII. Women are torn between the freedom to pursue a career and the biological pull to raise a family. Doing both can be exhausting, but the current economic situation has necessitated it.

Not only are women less happy than men, but female happiness declines with age. Correct me if I am wrong, but feminism tells women that they do not need to marry straight out of college -- go pursue your career and fuck guys in casual hookups/relationships as much as you want. After all, women = men right? But when a woman is in her thirties and wants to settle down with a man (career no longer as important), she will have to compete with women in their twenties, who still maintain their youthful looks. Unfortunately, her 'value' decreases much earlier than a man's, since men consider looks/sex appeal more than women do. Financially stable men of the same age shouldn't have the same trouble in finding a long-term mate.

I would argue that feminism has contributed to the decline of marriage. Traditionally, part of the appeal of marriage for men has been the access to consistent sex. With the increased promiscuity of women, combined with the economical strains in raising children, men have less incentive to get married, especially in their twenties.

What exactly do feminists hope to accomplish today, since women appear to have just about everything? The big talking point is the apparent wage gap, and women will cite the $.77 figure they make for every dollar that a man makes. False equivalency. The figure just compares the median wage of men and women, not accounting for the type of job. Expect the 'gap' to be even smaller as aging baby boomers retire.

In fact, some studies suggest that women will be making more than their male counterparts in due time. Here is one that shows women under 30 make 8% more than men in 147 out of the 150 biggest US cities.

Unhappy women, emasculated men, and the end of chivalry. Thanks, hard feminism.

saying women have power and equality is far from a biased male judgement .

i will say women and girls tend to be the biggest consumers, pop music etc seems predominantly aimed at them too.

But anyways, women cause something like 70% of divorces. Because when we label em as weaker, we kind of have to baby them

What percentage of women are whipped by their boyfriuends? Very little. What percentage of men have been whipped at some point in there lives? A fuckton more than women. That is forsure

When we label them as weak  and kind of enforce vicotorian perceptions of women (weak, beautfiul, and to be appreaciarted. Delicate etc.) we have to "take care of them" as a side effect to that.

My bullshit meter is detecting a whiny male woman hater. These types imo hate strong women because they themselves are weak.

Yup

I never said men in general are better than women or vice versa.

They are mostly the same bunch in the end.

Exactly.

I feel that feminism is not detrimental to western society, but rather one of the reasons why western society is unique. Take a couple of feminists and drop em off in the middle east and see how they fare.  Just my .02

Lets drop you off in the middle east and see how you fare.
