    Feminism is morally good

    Understand feminism as a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women and morality as the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong). Under this context, I will be arguing pro, which means I defend the case of feminism being morally good, as opposed to any ideology that enters in direct conflict with feminism.

    Feminism in America (in 2017)

    I'm against feminism because it doesn't actually represent women. I think feminism was needed when women couldn't vote, and it's needed in places in the middle east... but definitely not America anymore. The definition of feminism sounds perfect, but when you actually look into it, the ideas and concepts feminists support are full of lies.

    Feminism is ruining video games

    I would like to invite anyone in the grand debate about feminism in one of entertainments biggest industries, video gaming. I would like to say that I am referring to feminism affecting games in regards to the games themselves. I am not referring to harassment in the workplace, domestic abuse, or differences in pay grade level. I am referring to the end product that received in the video game and how feminism affects it.

    I'm re-doing this debate after a request from Awood8964. Understand feminism as a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women and morality as the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong).

    Child Support/Welfare: This is not an issue of feminism...

    Feminism is used against men.

    To Begin one thing I’m definitely going to make clear, the resolution be nothing other than “Feminism is used against men”. I could successful still school my opponent arguing “Feminism is selfish” but I’m not going to make that a goal of any kind, I accepted a debate challenge knowing nothing other than the resolution was “Feminism is used against Men” and I expect and demand to keep your honor by sticking to the resolution of the challenge that YOU issued Pro. So for anyone to vote for Pro in arguments he must prove the resolution that “Feminism is used against Men” not because of any arguments he makes that it is “selfish”. I have no problems with your definition “a collection of movements to raise the equality between men and women” so we can press on from there Domestic Violence: Domestic Violence is a non-relevant issue to what feminism is or is not used against. Domestic Violence is caused by people being evil, not by human movements. Feminism does not cause it and it certainly does not promote it. Pregnancy: Uh, the man already had his choice when he chose to have sex with her. He doesn’t want a kid than he shouldn’t a planted his seed. That’s really case closed to that argument. Child Support/Welfare: This is not an issue of feminism either it is an issue of justice and responsibility, if you have a child you should support it in someway, its called “manning up and being a man” if you’re a man like me. No human activist movements change that fact. Child Custody: Your source with the statistics on child abuse percentages is fascinating. Although it does not help your case. Of course they are going to be higher for women there are more homes with women in them because fatherless homes are becoming a huge problem. And the factors going into this problem are not feminism but rather what I would attribute the extended age of adolescence that is showing up in young men, forcing younger women to grow up faster. http://www.joshuakennon.com... http://www.thedailybeast.com... Circumcision: Circumcision is a religious right of Jewish family’s and has nothing to do with sexism. At the best you could start a debate over details to consent involved in this to ageism (disregard of the concerns of youth and prejudices toward youth) as we grow up adults get to make our “consenting” decisions for us for quite awhile and we do not start to truly get the legal status to grant our own consent until we are about 16 years old. So it seems I have refuted each of my opponents arguments thus far to support the resolution “Feminism is used against Men” thus leaving him yet to prove it. If he cannot come up with a way to do so in the remaining rounds you should all vote Con! I await my opponents response

    Modern Feminists are women who love to ban harmless words...

    Modern Feminism is dead

    Feminism is he belief that women are and should be treated as potential intellectual equals and social equals to men, however, there are feminists out there who use "the power of feminism" to try and make women more superior than men. Modern Feminists are women who love to ban harmless words and tell men how to live their life, and that doesn't sound like equality to me. Feminists are the type of females who love to go around assaulting men knowing that if a man was to get her back he'd be sent straight to the big house. If you find pages that support feminism on social media, you'd see posts with hateful/negative posts towards men. Modern Feminism is stupid and shouldn't exist because they aren't really doing anything to equal rights with men, if they were, they'd be helping out women in Saudi Arabia who are actually being oppressed but no, they're still living a free life trying to force men how to live their lives, if anything men are being oppressed now days. Feminists are known to start stupid trends such as, #BanFathersday, #KillAllMen, The Slut Walk, and the most disgusting of all, #FreeThePits. There was also a time where feminists made a video with little girls making them curse about stupid things. Feminism is pathetic and it should be stopped. https://twitter.com... https://twitter.com... https://feministfreq.com...

    I will overlook the fact that they deliberately ignored...

    Feminism is useless in the west now.

    My opponent is claiming that being part of a group is a singular reason why feminism is a good thing in the west. I will overlook the fact that they deliberately ignored the fact that i mentioned this was in exception to 3rd world countries and unrelated however. I would like to pose to my opponent the idea that is feminism in this country really a role model now? Do you think other countries will really want to follow our example when they look at what feminism has become now and what it is fighting for? Would you not agree that to an outsider looking at what feminism has been reduced too (namely trying to be the biggest victim and wandering around making issues out of thin air so that they have a reason to keep screaming at the top of their lungs) would actually want it? If my opponents argument focuses on this then i will have to oblige and ask that does he really think feminism is setting a good example in its current iteration?

    This debate should be impossible to accept, so comment if...

    Feminism is beneficial to Western society.

    For the purpose of this debate, feminism will be defined as "the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities." Let me make it clear that we are debating about the actually theory of feminism. Like in all large groups, some feminists do not follow this theory and instead put men down. Unless you can factually prove that mosts feminists do that, then do not bring that up in an argument. Saying that most of the feminists you have seen do ______ is NOT evidence. (that is anecdotal and not credible.) I want this debate to be about the mission of feminism and whether Western society can improve from it. Con must prove that feminism is unnecessary or detrimental to society. First round is acceptance. This debate should be impossible to accept, so comment if you are interested. I understand that the wording of this is a little esoteric, so leave questions in the comments if you want. It should be more clear then.

    Yes because I want to tell you that men are much more...

    Feminism is harmful to society

    "Yes because I want to tell you that men are much more likely to face discrimination than women" This statement is completely untrue. Men do face discrimination but certainly not more than women! "1. They represent most of homeless population" How does this connect to feminism being harmful to society or not?? Please explain further. 2. They are more likely to commit suicide This is true but I don't see how this connects to feminism not helping men. While we all advocate for suicide prevention, I researched into this fact and there was no link to feminism... 3. They have fight and die for war Women also have fight (and sometimes do die) in war. If you are talking about the draft, I agree that forcing only men to be conscripted is unfair. It comes from an old-fashioned view that war is only for men as women are "weak". However, as I said earlier, feminism is fighting to erase these absurd mentalities and create equality. 4.they are over represented in dangerous work occupations This comes from the belief that men are supposed to do the hard work. While men are generally 15-20 percent larger than women (https://abcnews.go.com...) this doesn't mean women can't do hard (sometimes dangerous) work. I talked about how these stereotypes are unfair and as always, feminism is working to stop this thinking. 5. They had little to no protection against domestic violence I already addressed this in Round 2. 6. They get longer prison sentence" Again, I know. Read above. "And what did feminism do ? Nothing. MEN Do Not Benefit anything from them." I have already proven how feminism benefits men. Please read my arguments next time so you can rebut them more effectively.
