    Are women annoying hypocrites when it comes to feminism

    In regards to the feminist argument I was not using the text book definition I was using it to refer to those feminist who claim that they fight for women to be equal to men. Of course not all women are annoying hypocrites, which should go without saying. But regardless, one my biggest driving points is the Domestic Violence laws in America. Do you know that in a lot of states men can be taking and detained based on an accusation! All the women has to do is say he did something and he's forced to either leave or be taken into custody. I don't see these women fighting for this to be changed so that men and women are on even levels. I worked for years as a DCF officer and saw first hand how the legal system treats men. They treat them like their disposable. In all the custody battles I was involved in almost 2 years unless the woman had basically given up, the father never won. 1 in 6 cases of custody according to the US Census goes to the mother. I don't see women trying to equal that ground. The funniest statistic is women are more likely not to even get charged with child support in the event that they don't win. No peep about evening that up. It's all because our society has so brainwashed men that a women can never be a dead beat no matter what the circumstance unless a man is to blame. It's amazing. What about women getting almost 2 and half years less for committing the same crime as men. According to the United States Census Bureau women receive prison sentences that average a little over 2 years less than those awarded to men. Even after controlling for circumstances such as the severity of the offense and past criminal history, women receive more lenient sentences. Approximately 9.5 months of the female advantage cannot be explained by gender differences in individual circumstances. In other words if women faced the same sentencing structure as men, women would on average receive 15.4 months less prison time than men rather than 24.9 months less prison time. Most of the gender gap arises from convictions via guilty pleas, which account for the vast majority of the convictions observed in our data. Besides gender, we find evidence that judges took into account factors such as family circumstances which are expressly prohibited from consideration when awarding sentences but I don't' hear a peep about making this equal yet I can't turn on the tv without hearing women screaming about men making more money for the same job. To me I defined that as hypocritical in every sense of the word.

    Are women annoying hypocrites when it comes to feminism

    I am so sick and tired of women and their double standard bull crap. They claim they want everything to be equal when in all actuality they want the world to be easier for them at the expense of everyone around them. They claim they want to be treated equal yet they constantly fight for the ability to get rights men don't have. They claim that men don't take their problems seriously yet commonly make jokes about the problems normal men have to deal with. I can go into more detail but I'll do that after I've had someone to debate. Please explain this to me because I'm so annoyed.

    The overwhelming trend of feminism is against prostitution.

    The radical feminist school that emerged in the 1990s supports the orthodoxy that prostitution leads to the objectification of women. The use of a woman’s body solely for the purpose of sexual gratification does not treat them as a person. This lack of respect dehumanises both prostitute and client, and does not represent a victory for either sex.

    Feminism is not needed in America anymore and is corrupting some minds.

    Response to B) They do have gender equality. They may be a victim of sexism but so are men. Response to the whole wage gap) Many different people have used many different equations to determine the wage gap. Some find it to be 77 some find it to be 82 some find it to be 91 so that may show that the whole wage gap is misleading. Also, women fresh out of college no family actually make more than men. So the "wage gap" is actually effecting men. Also, I do not have a reliable source for this but I heard that they do not determine the "wage gap" on the actual jobs but the job fields. If this is true then the wage gap is not creditable. And when you say how the mom is the one who takes care of the kid. No one makes her take care of the child after she has given birth. God made women the ones who give birth and we can not change that but no one is making the women the ones who care for children. Adoption or ask the father. Response to 3) Rape culture does not exist. Yes more women are raped then men but that does not change the fact the men are raped too. The fact is that both genders are raped and its horrible I don't see how the statics of male compared to female rape victims matters. Also, yes they may have set up rape centers but they base these centers on women not as much men. Response to 4) I'm not saying men are 60% more skilled i'm saying the men that are in the government are just more skilled at the moment than the women who are challenging them. What I mean by this is that pick the more skilled person. Yes women are 50% of the population but does that mean we should hire women just because they are women. No, we should hire based on skill. If a man has more skill for a job that is male dominated then why not hire the man? If a women has a better skill level for a job that is female dominated hire the female. Don't hire based on gender or race but on skill. I am sorry if I am not making these statements are clear but I am new at this.

    Feminism is not misandry, but rather the belief in gender equality

    Even though my opponent has forfeited this round, I would like to make another point about the sexism against women that exists in society. In society, it is considered acceptable for men to show their nipples, but not for women. This is a blatant double standard. Some people might object, and say that the nipples of women are inherently more sexual than the nipples of men. However, I disagree. The nipples of women have both the functions of lactating and of sexual arousal. The nipples of men only have the function of the latter, except for in some rare cases. So, it would be illogical to deny that this is a double standard in society.

    Feminism is not misandry, but rather the belief in gender equality

    I don't have much to say, as my opponent has forfeited this round, but I would like to correct an error that I made in Round 3. I said, and I quote, "Misogynists say, 'Wow, that man claims to have been raped? That must be false, as that would make him a coward, which only men are.'" I meant to say, "Misogynists say, 'Wow, that man claims to have been raped? That must be false, as that would make him a coward, which only women are.'" I realized that I had made an error, so I am correcting it now.

    The hypersexualization of little girls is a step backwards for feminism.

    Con, thank you for your contribution. Women face injustice all around the world; in many cultures, even today, a male baby is preferable to a female baby to give you an example. Starting before their birth, women have to continuously deal with inequality. This unfairness may thus lead to a conscious or unconscious feeling of inferiority. Women have been told how to act, what to say, what to wear, more than men and so we can notice that a little girl is, more often, perfectly aware of her gender role, of the role of the feminine in the society than a little boy is of his. Imitating her mother, learning from her entourage, the little girl faces a stricter education. To reaffirm their existence, women started the feminist movement in the 1960s (women's fight against sexism can not be limited to this movement of course). Today, both victims of and partially leading to the hypersexualization phenomena, women are, even though they get the illusion that they are making their own choices, for most influenced by existing authorities. Buying a simple item of clothing because they want to doesn't mean that they are fully in control of their actions. We are surrounded by media messages,that offer women 'role models' they should look up to. Prejudices and the existing system in our societies push women to try pleasing men's expectations too. Even though it looks like it is getting better (and it is) and that women are in power, they are under pressure and unconsciously our consciously guided by authorities and media above mentioned. In addition to this, since we are debating on the hypersexualization of young girls, we should take in consideration their age, and the fact that they are, at their age (8-13) too young to make that kind of decisions without any guidance.

    Is rape culture promoted by feminism to be taken seriously

    I don't think it's possible to debate the fact that rape is a very serious crime. That being said, I want to request we shift this argument more towards all of these rape allegations. I do not believe the feminist movement promotes or discourages rape culture, or has any impact on legitimate rapes. However, I am skeptical about a lot of these recent allegations that have come out against influential members of our society, as you know famous people will always have a group of people that hate them, and considering the amount of recent cases that have come up, I do think we should have the right to ask to see evidence of these very serious crimes. Even murders need clear and convincing evidence to convict the defendant. Best of luck to you!
