Modern Feminism (Third-Wave Feminism) Destroys Men and Their Families

"By no means will I argue that women are being denied their basic rights, nor will I bash anyone in by declaring that modern-day sexism is even close to how bad it was in the early 1900s, however, that does not mean that women don't face any sort of sexism that requires action to protect them." Let's take a closer look at this argument. There is a big misconception about the issues women face versus what men face. Are women in general more likely to face rape, sexism and sexual harrassment in their lifetime than men? I would say absolutely not. When you factor in prison statistics men are at a greater risk of rape and sexual harassment than women. http://www.dailymail.co.uk...; "Even though, in the United States, we live in a progressive society where women are given almost all the opportunities men are given and are protected legally as much as men, women still face prejudice, and they have every right to assemble and protest against it." I won't deny women that women have the right to assemble and protest the sexual harassment and mistreatment of their sex. If they truly cared about women and their plight they would not focus on petty things such as "manspreading" and "manslpaining." How about fighting against the abuse of women in the middle east? Women in Islamic controlled countries have no rights whatsoever. They are treated as dogs, or as lesser than dogs. If they truly cared about women's issues and their mistreatment, they would begin where it is needed most. Just like the "BLM" crowd, the focus isn't on the most needed and most urgent of needs. "BLM" focuses on "important" issues such as making sure police officers are shot to death for apprehending a black criminal or even more shocking, shooting at an unarmed black suspect. While those could be real issues for the black community, they continue to ignore even greater issues like black-on-black crime in the inner city. They continue to forget about the fatherless black children and their drug addicted mothers who "raise" them poorly. They continue to act as if these black lives don't matter and that pointing out racism where it almost never exists matters more. Third-Wave feminism is practically the same. They focus on issues they have with men rather than the real issues that happen in densly populated Islamic countries where women are treated as sub-human. If women's lives truly mattered they wouldn't focus on men who just happen to glance at their exposed breasts while walkingpast them in the grocery store. "One such problem that women face is the wage gap. According to the Institute for Women's Policy Research, "in 2015, female full-time workers made only 80 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 20 percent," (S2). Imagine that you are a hard-working construction worker making about 30,000 USD. Then, imagine that your malicious boss decides to lower your annual wage by 20%. You would lose 6,000 USD from your yearly salary. A large part of the feminist movement is actively fighting to close the wage gap, and rightly so." Let's talk about the so-called "wage gap." I find it quite interesting that there is no mention as to why this even supposedly exists. Let's break down the numbers, shall we? If the "wage gap" really existed as these feminists claim it does, why are companies not just hiring women? Or at the least, why are they not hiring a majority of women over men? If companies pay women approximately 75-78 cents for every dollar men make, why are companies not hiring mostly women? Shouldn't they be wanting to save money? Here is the real reason women are making less money than men. Women do not make less money than men for doing the same job. They make exactly the same as men doing the same job. Women are not working the same jobs as men; that's the real issue. Construction jobs, coal mining, deep sea fishing, etc, etc ... these are the jobs that men are doing that women are not. These are very dangerous jobs that pay more than retail and baking and being an accountant. Women just flat out refuse to work the dangerous jobs, yet want to be paid like men for not doing them. http://www.forbes.com... So with this in mind, why do we need feminism for these things? The "wage gap" does not exist and women are not working the dangerous, more riguous jobs that men are working. " Women also battle domestic violence and sexual assault. An article by "The Shriver Report" claims that one in five women has been sexually assaulted in college. It also has recorded over 270,000 instances of sexual assault worldwide on average annually." So do men. In fact, if you count sexual assault and rape in prison, men are more likely to be a victim than women. And I believe that just because many of these assaults happen to men in prison, doesn't make them less real and less important. Sexual assault and rape is the same accross the board. Why is it more important for women to have someone fighting for them than it is for men? And as I have stated previously, the Third-Wave feminist movement isn't really too concerned about real issues involving women like Islamic rape culture against women, but more interested in "boobie staring" and degrading men for being men, such as "manspreading" and "mansplaining." Oh my, men sitting on the bus like a man ... sounds very horrific. I will agree with my opponent that human sex trafficing is a sad and very real problem. The problem with Third-Wave feminism, however, is their focus is not on women being sold as sex slaves and definitely not on men being sold. If they were focused on these issues, "manspreading" wouldn't be an issue at all. Fake concern shouldn't exist at all. Man hate is their primary focus and it truly shows in their behavior. "Modern-day feminism strives to close the wage gap, strike down sexual assault against women, and advocate for women's rights in the Middle-East." This is just not true, as I have already explained previously. There is very little mention from the Third-Wave about the attrocities happening toward women in the middle east. And the "wage gap" does not exist. When women believe that men are not equal to women (being the lesser sex than men), they dehumanize men. When they fight against "issues" like "manspreading" and "mansplaining" and ignore real issues like Islamic rape and the treating of women like dogs, they undermine their so-called public agenda. They claim to fight for equality of the sexes, but their actions tell us they want to dominate men and destroy the traditional family of man and woman with children. They want us to believe that feminism isn't just about fighting for women's rights, but to also change the family structure. Feminists forcing their crackdown on manspreading. And a lighter look at mansplaining. Because, you know, it's such a huge issue for modern feminists.
