lucyloveliked a comment in Pittsburgh Woman Creates Gender Pay Gap Awareness By Asking Men To Pay More.
Anne, I assure you, I read your entire comment. Multiple times. Sexism isn't just towards women. That's what people (our society) wants us to think. But men definitely exspreince it just as much as women. it's possible that they experience it more because, sadly, sexism towards men many times isn't even recognized as sexism. I'm asking how angry men have brainwashed our society. Give me an example of something that is the result of angry men brainwashing our society. I can give you example when it comes to feminist brainwashing our society. Just look at TV these days. The majority of TV dads are portrayed as lazy, childish, or grumpy. Often all three. TV moms, on the other hand, are rarely portrayed as any of those things (unless she's a criminal or something). Our society tells girls they're perfectly fine, and should NEVER change themselves for a guy. On the other hand, it tells boys they need to bend over backwards to make sure their girlfriends are happy with ever single aspect of them. If your girlfriend doesn't like video games, stop play them. If she hates comics, stop reading them. And the reason I'm using those as examples is because I have known many women to not like both of those things. And I'm not being sexist, and saying that all women don't like video games or comic books. I'm a girl, and I love both of those things. And not to mention existence of terrible, sexist games like "Boyfriend trainer" and movies like "Zapped" and "How to build a better boy". Boy friend trainer is literally an app where you "train" your virtual boy friend by slapping him, beating him, electrocuting him, etc. That's what you call domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is regarded as a horrible crime when it's against women (which it is), but when it comes to men they have, they have an app for it. That's so utterly disgusting, that I can even find the words to describe it. And it's not just an app. In real life, male victims of domestic abuse are often not taken seriously, and are even arrested it they report the abuse. The men gets arrested for getting abused. That doesn't even make a tiny bit of sense. Then there's the movies. Zapped and How to Build a Better Boy are both Disney channel movies. That means they're aimed towards kids. Zapped is basically about a girl who gets this app on her phone that controls dogs, but then the app magically starts controlling men instead. So then she decides that it's her humble duty to "fix" all the men she comes across because she pretty much finds every single guy she meets annoying (mainly because they're all portrayed doing sexist things. But frankly not all of them are actually being annoying. Some of them are just minding their own business yet she still finds them annoying because SHE doesn't see the relevance THEIR activities. Only one guy is actually rude to her.) So then she starts taking all the guys and making them "better". Not only does this movie portray men as in an EXTEREMLY sexist way (with the exception of one, who's the love interest of course.), but it's targeted towards young children who will absorb this information into their very impressionable brains. That really disturbs me. As for How to Build a Better Boy, the title speaks for itself. It's basically goes back to what I was saying earlier. Society says that women are perfect just the way they are. But it says that men aren't. We're told that in order to have the perfect man, we have to create him. Because according to society, there is no guy that just fine the way he is, and he's always going to need work. That's not even slightly true, yet that's what we're told. I could go on and on about sexism towards men, but I actually have more points to cover. I wasn't expecting to find anything about men's rights in the definition. It's feminism. It isn't about men's rights. You said that men already have (and so do women, I say), but equality isn't just about "rights". I think you might have taken the thing I said to which you replied. "not all feminist have brainwashed our society", out of context... Also, I didn't say you that "those people are either angry men or influenced by them". That's why I asked about it. Sorry if my mistaken lack of a question mark confused you. I have then tendency of doing that sometimes :). My bottom line is that, in America, I don't think women are worse off than men. What other rights (and the reason I say other is because I've already heard you opinion on the pay gap) do we (as American women) have to fight for? I'm much more interested in fighting sexism towards men because not many people are. It seems like a lot of people tend to get work up over women's problems and ignore the fact that men have just as many problems. They need to defend themselves, and I feel the need to defend them. But again, a lot of people don't. And I think that's sad. And one more thing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you basically said that the people who don't agree with you are either uninformed or misinformed. Not to be rude or anything, but no one person knows everything. I'm not even an adult, so I definitely don't know everything. Just because a person doesn't believe in something, doesn't mean they're any less informed then the person who does believe in it. It just means they have a different opinion. I'm going to keep standing up for what I believe and you'll probably keep standing up for what you believe. And that's completely fine :). Thanks for taking the time to read this (I know it was very long).Over 9 years ago
