White knights set back equality for the genders

[BainsBane]

59. So true

What we need most in the world is men who whine constantly about how oppressed they are and do everything they can to make sure women remain disempowered. Opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is really for our own good. Women need to learn to stand up on our own two feet without the nanny state telling us we have the right to equal access to jobs. And prosecution for rape. Pshaw. Who needs a White Knight state to tell women their lives have any value whatsoever. The worst thing for a man to do is to stand up for social justice. The only way to help women is to make them understand they are completely and utterly worthless, and that they deserve no rights, no protection by the state, and that there are no men on this planet who want anything but to see them subjugated.


Some men speak out because they care about social justice. They know that what enables injustice and violence to occur is for good people to do nothing. To fail to act or to fail to speak out is to allow the subjugation of half of the human race. To shame men who stand up for what is right shows one's own hostility to inequality.

You've made your views clear on women multiple times. This in particular stands out:

it is no wonder males are opting out of participating in our society and going their own way as a whole. The risks have become too high for males to associate with females now, such that, it has reached a tragic level. . . .We are letting down our young males in our society by telling them any affection or empathy is wrong, and that makes my stomach churn.

Let's dissect this: It is unacceptable to tell boys "affection or empathy is wrong." Only the case you refer to was one of repeated non-consensual physical contact with a girl, against her expressed wishes. So it's wrong to tell boys they shouldn't touch a girl after she has said no. And it is also wrong for men to stand up in favor of equality. So what is it right for men and boys to do? Force themselves on girls and women after they say no? Shame men who stand up for equality and support laws passed decades ago prohibiting a hostile environment? Men who stand up for justice and equality should be shamed, whereas boys who touch girls against their will should be told they are "affectionate and empathetic." Got it.

And people claim we're on the same side. You're not in the same century with me.
