This is a short on a statement I made in a previous blog about feminist attacks on Kaely Cuoco-Sweeting.
I am not anti woman. But I think the issue is a lot more complex than rights for one and the other. I also wish to say I am anti MRA as well, but not anti male. The reason I say I am anti these things, is because if these two were really for the rights of both, wouldn’t they be working together?
Instead, there is constant fighting and arguing over statistical data and how it is represented, or inflated. Meanwhile, oppression to men and women in other countries around the world continues. To me this does not sound like a couple of groups who have my interest at heart.
Right now I consider myself a gender egalitarian. But I believe only in equal rights. To think men and women are exactly the same is a down right negligence to look at what is in front of you and one should be shamed for the absurdity. Biologically we differ and we should not oppress one or the other over biology. Men are physically stronger generally, and women have stronger immune systems and live longer. Should we start averaging out the age that men die and cull all women and men higher than that age because it is unfair to men generally? Or maybe give hormones and steroids to women so they can be just as strong? No. Because this would be ridiculous. Yet attacks on our bodies and separate sub cultures happen every day by these groups, not understanding acceptance and tolerance are not the same thing and we should be a tolerant society, not an accepting one, that is fascism.
I am tired of articles and news programs telling us nebulous facts, on who is being under represented the most and where. What I would like to see, is these groups evolve into an entity that can look at the problems and theories together, objectively and logically and then record and report their findings with empirical data. Then as a society we can dispel the myths and work on the injustices.
